Thanks ILya! I'm a bit surprised about Leupold's new line or lack thereof. With all the hype I expected something a bit exciting, oh well.

I am working on the summary for the remainder of the show and on the wrap-up.
I will concatenate all of my impressions on the subject and put them in the first post of the thread. I am also thinking of making this thread a sticky for a couple of weeks. ILya |

I look forward to your wrap-up man, and I'm anxiously hoping that you got a chance to take a look at Vortex's line of tactical scopes since I haven't heard barely anything about them. I've been waiting for word on them to decide which scope to purchase for quite a while now.... anyways, thanks for the write up. |

Gentlemen, the first post in the thread has been updated with the whole write-up. Take a look when you get a chance. Keep in mind that it is pretty long.
I will glance at it one more time tomorrow to correct the spelling errors. ILya |

ILya, on the 1-4x trijicon are they going to be offering different reticle choices or is it just the same ole post reticle. I would love it if the put in the ACOG BDC reticle that would work at 4x.
Thanks for your time with the write up, I appreciate all your info. |

I think initially, it will be the post/triangle reticle and #4 with illuminated dot. I am not sure if they plan to offer other reticles further out. ILya |

Koshkin,
Thanks again for all the great info. Fascinating comparison of the S&B, Hensoldt and Premier scopes. I'd probably go for the Premier. However, the Nightforce 2.5-10X32 I'm about to receive is already stretching my scope budget, along with the Direct Mount. So USO and those three are out of my league for now. Interesting comments on NF. I have been curious about the mixed comments they get. Folks over at longrangehunting.com by and large love them. Yet (for reasons unknown to me) SWFA for instance doesn't carry them. My one email request to NF was promptly answered and quite satisfactorily. I guess if the optics are better than my Leupold that won't be an issue to me (although with the Swaro rangefinder I now have I do know what good glass looks like). I hope I like their reticles more than you do. Mostly, I went with what is a fairly expensive scope because I want highly reliable mechanics. I probably won't push it to its limits since I tend to baby scopes (and rifles) and really just want go push out to 600 yards. Jon |
